Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to learn how the amount of fluid in the body of a hemodialysis patient affects him or her. Body hydration is the amount of fluid in the human body and known to be related to blood pressure. Too much fluid can lead to high blood pressure which can cause heart problems and eventually lead to death. Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) is a method that may be used to measure body hydration. This can be applied in the whole body, arm, trunk, calf, and leg. It is a non-invasive and inexpensive method and no known risk. BIS measurements can be used to assess optimal hydration status which is defined as a patient's ideal weight after completing a dialysis treatment. The investigators hypothesize that your target weight may be better estimated by the BIS. The results of this study, in particular the continuous measurement of calf hydration which is associated with the hydration of the whole body, may provide useful information about physiologic ("healthy") body hydration. It may possibly help to improve treatment procedures for patients in the future. The Renal Research Institute plans to enroll 100 chronic hemodialysis patients and 200 healthy controls in this study.

Dialysis patients will have their estimated dry weight measured with calf segmental bioimpedance. Based on these measurements, their dry weight will be adjusted and the amount of fluid removed during subsequent dialysis treatments will be increased by 200-300mL. The additional fluid removal will occur during 3 consecutive hemodialysis sessions. In addition, these subjects will also use VStim during these treatments. to prevent common intradialytic symptoms by promoting vascular refilling.
No Intervention was administered. Both groups had their hydration status measured with segmental bioimpedance The group of healthy subjects was studied in order to obtain a range of values for normal hydration status.
Stable hemodialysis patients believed to be at all levels of hydration by their treating physician will be chosen. 100 subjects will be chosen to include approximately 50% women in the hemodialysis program. Subjects will be selected from a wide range of ages and body mass indexes

During every study day, 1 tube (3.5mL) will be collected before and 1 tube (3.5mL) after HD. This will be done at each study day until the subject reaches optimal hydration status. These samples will be used to assess Na+, K+, Ca++ concentrations and conductivity of the blood. We'll also measure aldosterone monthly.In case of technical issues (which may include device malfunction, transportation of samples, or scheduling of personnel), samples may be frozen temporarily. Samples may also be frozen and kept for future biochemical studies (see "Consent form for future biochemical studies").
